When is Cyber Monday 2023?
2023's Cyber Monday keyboard piano deals will officially rear their heads on Monday, November 27th, 3 days after Black Friday. Leaving less than a month between then and Christmas Day, it's probably the best time to load up on Christmas presents for the special piano player in your life.
The events of previous years tell us that November 27th isn't the only day you can get some ridiculous savings. Many of the best deals will crop up in the weeks leading up to Cyber Weekend - some as early as mid-October - and many deals will still be on offer leading up to Christmas Day.
If a bargain is what you're after during this Black Friday/Cyber Monday period, then you'd better keep your eyes and ears peeled at all times. Deals will be launched at random times of the day - or night - so it's worth keeping an eye on your favourite retailers to make sure you get what you're after.
Are pianos on sale during Cyber Monday?
In short, yes! From Black Friday through to Cyber Monday you are highly likely to see a myriad of deals on digital pianos, stage pianos and even acoustic pianos. Last year was a bumper affair for jaw-dropping savings on some of the biggest names in keys.
You can expect all the big-name musical instrument retailers to get involved, with the likes of Guitar Center, Sweetwater, Musician’s Friend, Amazon and others all firing out their best Cyber Monday piano deals to tempt you. We're hoping to see great deals on gear from Casio, Moog, Arturia, Roland, Yamaha and many more.

What's the best value digital piano?
When recommending any piece of musical equipment - it’s very difficult not to recommend Yamaha. If we had to choose one digital piano from their range that offers the best value for money, we'd have to go for the Yamaha P-145. Benefiting from Yamaha’s world-famous build quality, this is a seriously good piano for beginners and gigging musicians alike.
If you are looking for a digital upright, we'd suggest looking at the Casio AP-270. This entry-level digital piano punches well above its weight, and in our tests, we found that it offered outstanding sound quality for its wallet-friendly price.

As Roland’s newest entry-level, full-size digital piano, the standout feature of the FP-10 has to be its class-leading PHA-4 keyboard. Beautifully responsive and representing staggering value, it’s exactly the same action found on the pricier FP-30 model.

The eagerly awaited upgrade of the S1000, the new PX-S1100 builds on its predecessor by adding the modern features today’s budding pianists demand. This 88-note fully weighted keys piano is perfect for aspiring players looking for an affordable instrument that doesn’t scrimp on quality.

A full-size 88-note piano weighing in at a paltry 7kg that can be set-up anywhere and run off batteries, Roland’s GO:PIANO 88 is great for beginners and buskers alike. The downside of this portability is that the keyboard is only semi-weighted rather than fully-weighted, but it’s a compromise we found we were happy to make.
